Title: RuneScape 2020
Post by: Kavik on Thu, 15 October 2020, 20:54:04
I saw this was released on Steam yesterday. What's the word on this one? I never played the original, so I have no frame of reference. Will TP4 be throwing his life into this one?

It somehow still looks like a game from 15 years ago. I guess terrible graphics is part of the charm?

I presume so. As an outsider, I just assumed most MMORGs and MOBA look like that. It does look a bit like Civ zoomed all the way in.

I've never played any mmorpg. I think if I didn't live with 3 other people I'd probably like them but the constant interruptions would make it frustrating.

The only people that are still playing OSRS/Classic are doing it out of nostalgia tbh, it's just crazy grindy (like WoW Classic with more grinding and less else to do). I mean the reviews are steam are super positive, but just look at how many of those reviews are just people that have been playing the game since 2011 and earlier

I need to look into this... I have 15 years invested in my main Runescape account...

Yep, just want to experience the gold times through the classic expansion.
